And Ndini falls with a wimper. A quick play of Brave Sir Robin may have saved a couple of the units from total annihilation, but otherwise, a total loss. The SAG performed even worse than expected, I traded 4 cruisers and 4 destroyers for a couple of his destroyers. Total loss for me, none of them survived.
Honestly, I'm thinking I'm in a no win situation now. I can still carry on operations on land, but I have proven completely inept at engaging him with Naval forces.
